IS THERE A 180 GAL DOUBLE STAND?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
i think i might diy the project , now im thinking of a double 240gal, since that shot of the industrial shelves look sturdy and i could by two 240 gals 10 caribe's for the top and 4 african pikes for the bottom. do i need to weld the iron together or bolts

Most of the industrial racking is rated around 3,500 to 5,000 lbs capacity per beam (horizontal, not vertical) I manage a warehouse and have exceded the weight limits on those beams before and they begin to bow badly. Just make sure if you purchase some used etc... that you know what they are rated for. Those are you best bet IMO though.

Glad you did, it's an awesome set-up! I am thinking about doing a 5x2x2 double and recently searched your double 180 for inspiration :D
 
I'm glad I came upon this thread,I can build a double tank rack as way to free up space in my basement for another tank.

I've been looking at unistrut for a tank stand as well, I use a lot at work too, but I think there should be cheaper solutions.

used indusrtial racking is cheap. best thing is its easy to move, set up, change around, add/subtract beams. is it the cheapest alternative? no, but it is by far the best thing i have used for applications that dont require fancy looks(like in your living room). no welding, cutting, etc... just snap it together and your done.

I gree 100%. You can find this stuff on CL for cheap or free and with as many companies going out of bisuness as there are right now, you will find some easily. Drive around the closest "indsutrial" district and warehouses will probably have piles of this stuff out front or in back. Ask if you can have it. I have given away so much it's not funny....
